How to earn money through Affiliate Marketing?

It is a casual notion among people that if you want to earn extra income sitting at home and working as many hours as you wish to, Affiliate Marketing is the option for you! I would like to point out that in case you want to earn peanuts, then this approach is great and probably the best you can get. But if you really want to earn a fortune, take it up seriously and mark my words, its pay off would be double or might even be triple of your mainstream job. All you need is a computer with internet connection and most importantly, time!! If you become an affiliate, your job is to promote other people’s business. Each time the customer follows the link on your website, you will be entitled for commission. The commission actually depends on the deal between the Advertiser and the Affiliate. It can be decided that you will be paid per sale, or per click, etc.
The following are the 5 Affiliate Fundas that will help you become a Good Affiliate.

Join an Affiliate Program. Before you get advertisers, you have to promote yourself as an affiliate. You can also post your link at other websites.

Build your website. Build your website imagining that you are a casual surfer. Include all the things that would like in a website, like it should have good and relevant content, attractive colors, placements of ads should be in accordance to your content, etc.

Grow gradually. Don’t expect to be a multi millionaire the day you launch your website. In the beginning you might earn a petty amount, but don’t think that’s all you can get. Initially you will take time to understand which market or industry to focus on, tracking links, finding third party Affiliates and so on. As a child builds his vocabulary starting from easy and less words, similar is the growth of a business.

Update your site as often as you can, or as and when the need be. Change your content according to the needs of the Advertisers.

Blend the advertisements into your content. The advertisements should not look out of place, or separated from the content. They should seem embedded into the content. The reader should get a hint that this link is an essence to your content and not the other way round.




Happy Earning!
